Exciting news for those with acne scars! Last week, the FDA approved Bellafill (previously known as Artefill) as the first and only injectable product to treat acne scars.

This approval of was based on a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study in which showed Bellafill was safe and effective in causing 50% or more of treated acne scars to improve by two or more points on a validated 4-point Acne Scar Rating Scale. After 6 months, two-thirds of patients had a response while 71% had a response after 1 year. Based on patient reports, 90% were satisfied after 1 year.

“This is a great addition to our current treatment options for acne scars. We can combine Bellafill with scar excisions and fractional CO2 lasers to offer an integrated approach to improving the scarring after acne. My many years of experience with Artefill, now called Bellafill, gives me confidence that our patients will be happy with the results.”
